FAQs

Meiji period (18681912) Japanese metalwork is defined by exceptionally detailed casting, complex surface patination, and intricate precious metal inlay techniques, often depicting classical mythology, nature, or human figures.

Craftsmen used lost-wax bronze casting combined with inlay techniques known as zogan. Details were carved into the surface and filled with gold, silver, copper, or specialised alloys like shakudo and shibuichi to create varied tones.

Authentic pieces feature crisp relief carving, fine hand-chased inlay work, natural surface oxidisation, and significant weight. Many examples bear artisan signatures or maker seals etched or cast onto the underside.

A pair of bronze vases creates formal symmetry on a console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece. Their dark tones and metallic highlights contrast effectively against neutral, muted backdrop walls.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical polishes, abrasive cleaners, or water, as these will strip the delicate historic patina and discolour the inlaid elements.
